I bless the day i found you
I want my arms around you
And so i beg you: let it be me.
Don’t take this heaven from one
If you must cling someone
Now and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be ?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me that you love me only
And say you’ll always let it be me.
I bless the day i found you
I want to stay around you
And so i beg you
Let it be me
Don’t take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we make love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me
Each time we made love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me
Promise you’ll always
Let it be me
God i bless the day i found you
I want to stay around you
Now and forever
Let it be me
So never leave me lonely
Say that you love me only
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me

I bless the day i found you,
I want to stay around you
And so i beg you, let it be me.
Don’t take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love,
I find complete love.
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you’ll love me only
And that you’ll always let it be me.
If for each bit of gladness
Someone must taste of sadness
I’ll bear the sorrow, let it be me.
No matter what the price is
I’ll make no sacrifices.
Through each tomorrow let it be me.
To you i’m praying,
Hear what i’m saying.
Please, let your heart beat
For me, just me.
And never leave me lonely,
Tell me you’ll love me only
And that you’ll always let it be me,
Let it be me.
Original french lyrics
Comme l’argile
L’insecte fragile
L’esclave docile
Je t’appartiens
De tout monþtre
Tu es le seul ma¡±tre
Je dois me soumettre
Je t’appartiens
Si tu condamnes
Jetant mon ¡ëme
Au creux des flammes
Je n’y peux rien1
Avec les peines
L’amour et la haine
Coulant dans mes veines
Je t’appartiens
Que puis-je faire
Pour te satisfaire
Patron de la terre
Sur mon chemin
Comme les anges
Chanter tes louanges
Mais je ne suis pas un ange
Tu le sais bien
Je ne suis qu’un homme
Rien qu’un pauvre homme
Je t’aime comme
Comme un copain
Souvent je pense
Que dans ton immense
Palais de silence
Tu doisþtre bien
You’ve been alone for too long baby
You’re so afraid to let emotions show
Oh but baby i’m in no kind of hurry
So we can take it real slow
Honey don’t let that lover who hurt you
Spoil the chance of starting anew
Chorus:
Someone’s gotta love you baby
Let it be me oh let it be me
Someone’s gotta sooner or later
Let it be me
You say you’re happy this way baby
Do you cry a little when the crowd has gone
You think promises were made to be broken
I want to prove that you’re wrong
Honey for once bring down your defences
Let me be the one to break through
Chorus
Honey don’t let that lover who hurt you
Spoil the chance of starting anew
Repeat chorus two times
Baby let me love you
Baby let me love you
Chorus
Baby let me love you
Baby let me love you
Chorus
Baby let me love you
Baby let me love you
Someone’s gotta sooner or later
Sticks and stones
Battle zones
A single light bulb
On a single thread for the black
Sirens wail
History fails
Rose-colored glass
Begins to age and crack
While the politicians shadowbox
The power ring
In an endless split decision
Never solve anything
From a neighbor’s distant land
I heard the strain of the common man
Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light
Well the world seems spent
And the president
Has no good idea
Of who the masses are
Well i’m one of them
And i’m among friends
We’re trying to see beyond
The fences in our own backyards
I’ve seen the kingdoms blow
Like ashes in the winds of change
But the power of truth
Is the fuel for the flame
So the darker the ages get
There’s a stronger beacon yet
Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light
In the kind word you speak
In the turn of the cheek
When your vision stays clear
In the face of your fear
Then you see turning out a light switch
Is their only power
When we stand like spotlights
In a mighty tower
All for one and one for all
Then we sing the common call
Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light
